Problem is so many places have shut

& frankly most i have used Ive ended up having issues with bad work

Problem is if you find anyoe you tend to want to keep it to yourself haha

[jimi]

All the ones on our list are still on the go and are included based on members experiences with them. We don't intend to include any without several recent recommendation based on recent experience

I understand your concerns about finding reliable automotive service providers. It can be challenging to locate trustworthy professionals, and when you do, it's natural to want to keep the information to yourself to ensure they remain available. Consider seeking recommendations from local car enthusiasts or online communities to find reputable service providers who can address your specific needs.

[Ewan Gill]

It's a wise approach to only include service providers on your list who have received multiple recent recommendations based on members' recent experiences. This ensures that you're compiling a list of trustworthy professionals for your community.

The map's a bit weird. Obviously, you've got TCB in there, but because the Mk1 dot is on top, people might not realise that Paul's amazing for Mk2 and Mk3 parts too.

Anyhow.....

The two that stick in my head are the 2 breakers I use......
J-SPEC
UNIT 22
Capital Business Park
Dalry
Ayshire
KA24 5JD

Mostly Mk3s and Mk2s, but they do get the odd Mk1 in.

And
SJ Autosport
Unit 10, 56 Westwood Rd, Birmingham B6 7DU

Whilst they're best known for doing 2ZZ swaps for Roadsters, Jam's Dad has started a side hustle breaking Mk3s as well as Celicas. They've got a lot of stuff in at the moment.

the map is a google map, so we have no say in it, the business are just linked to their google details

thanks for the input, Jimi should be along soon to add them

we use google for the mapping, so people should be able to check the reviews associated with the business

Finding a reliable auto repair shop can be challenging, and when you do, it's natural to want to keep it a secret!

That sounds like a sensible approach. Including auto shops with multiple recent recommendations is a good way to ensure quality.

I've added J-SPEC ( have heard good things about them but had forgotten them) Leaving SJ Autosport for now as their reviews aren't great
